John 10 📜 📕 ↷
Jesus the Good Shepherd
1 AMEN, amen I say to you, he that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up another way; he is a thief and a robber.📜💬📚
2 But he that entereth by the door, is the Pastor of the sheep.📜💬📚
3 To this man the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them forth.📜💬📚
4 And when he hath let forth his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.📜💬📚
5 But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him because they know not the voice of strangers.📜💬📚
6 This proverb JESUS said to them. But they knew not what he spake to them.📜💬📚
7 JESUS therefore said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.📜💬📚
8 And how many soever have come, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep heard them not.📜💬📚
9 I am the door. By me if any enter, he shall be saved: & he shall go in and shall go out, & shall find pastures.📜💬📚
10 The thief cometh not but to steal and kill & destroy. I came that they may have life, & may have more aboundantly.📜💬📚
11 I am the good Pastor.📜💬📚
12 The good Pastor giveth his life for his sheep. But the hireling & he that is not the Pastor, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flyeth: and the wolf raveneth, and disperseth the sheep.📜💬📚
13 And the hireling flyeth because he is a hireling; and he hath no care of the sheep.📜💬📚
14 I am the good Pastor; and I know mine, and mine know me.📜💬📚
15 As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I yield my life for my sheep.📜💬📚
16 And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be made one fold and one Pastor.📜💬📚
17 Therefore the Father loveth me: because I yield my life, that I may take it again.📜💬📚
18 No man taketh it away from me: but I yield it of myself. And I have power to yield it: and I have power to take it again. This commandment I received of my Father.📜💬📚
19 A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words.📜💬📚
20 And many of them said: He hath a devil and is mad; why hear you him?📜💬📚
21 Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of blind men?📜💬📚
Jesus at the Feast of Dedication
22 And the Dedication was in Jerusalem: and it was winter.📜💬📚
23 And JESUS walked in the temple, in Salomon's porch.📜💬📚
24 The Jews therefore compassed him round about, and said to him: How long doest thou hold our soul in suspense? if thou be CHRIST, tell us openly.📜💬📚
25 JESUS answered them: I speak to you; and you believe not; the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.📜💬📚
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.📜💬📚
27 My sheep hear my voice; and I know them, and they follow me.📜💬📚
28 And I give them life everlasting; and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand.📜💬📚
29 My Father, that which he hath given me, is greater than all: and no man can pluck them out of the hand of my Father.📜💬📚
30 I and the Father are one.📜💬📚
31 The Jews took up stones, to stone him.📜💬📚
32 JESUS answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father, for which of those works do you stone me?📜💬📚
33 The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou being a man, makest thyself God.📜💬📚
34 JESUS answered them: Is it not written in your law, that I said, you are gods?📜💬📚
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God was made, and the scripture can not be broken;📜💬📚
36 whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, say you, That thou blasphemest, because I said I am the Son of God?📜💬📚
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.📜💬📚
38 But if I do, and if you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.📜💬📚
39 They sought therefore to apprehend him; and he went forth out of their hands.📜💬📚
John's Testimony Confirmed
40 And he went again beyond Jordan into that place where John was baptizing first; and he tarried there.📜💬📚
41 and many came to him, and they said: That John indeed did no sign. But all things whatsoever John said of this man, were true.📜💬📚
42 And many believed in him.📜💬📚
